A recap of the days news. Twitter and apparently from watching me on cnn, which he denies, by the way. I know this because he has tweeted a nasty hateful swipe at me and lebron james weve been discussing here. Youve probably read about it or saw it somewhere. I sat down with an nba great after lebron just opened a school for 240 at risk third and forty graders. And during our conversation lebron said this. We are in a position right now in america more importantly where this whole race thing has taken over, and one because i believe our president is kind of trying to divide us. But for him to like i said use sports to kind of divide us is something that i cant i cant sit back and not say nothing. What would you say to the president if he were sitting right here . I would never sit across from him. You would never . You wouldnt want to talk to
him . No. I would sit across from barack, though. He made lebron look smart, which isnt easy to do, i like mike. Unlike this president who lashes
